I just received photos from Carl Safina of a gray Gyrfalcon he found this afternoon around 1pm along the Wantagh Parkway. Although I do not have an exact location (and am trying to get one), he reports that the bird was along the water, so it must have been along the south end of the Wantagh just north of Jones Beach. I will post more info if it becomes available.
